As a driving public, we don't seem to do well with gray areas such as when and how to merge, whether to use the fast lane or the slow lane, who has the right of way at stop signs.

A roundabout seems like yet another opportunity for this same confusion. Lights, with definitive signs telling us when we can and cannot make turns would be more suitable for many of us.

If 62 percent of you don't

If 62 percent of you don't like a roundabout there, what is the answer? A stoplight? Won't that slow down traffic and be less safe? Wouldn't a roundabout deter truck traffic about which many of us complain?

Who is on the county board

I am guessing the reason for the low votes is this.....

Most people in Scott County don't even have a clue who is on the board, what they do, and why they do it.

I would love to see how many people can actually tell you the names of the members on the board, WITHOUT looking them up. I never knew them until I started working for the county.

Five votes have been cast

Five votes have been cast for 1, up to this point. That's an eye opener. So what's behind such a low vote?

It would have been nice for the DNR to put a NO FISHING on the millpond for the first couple of years to get things going.

Crappie and bluegill have a continuous season.
Bass opener is May 24 in our area.
May 10 opener is for walleye, sauger, northern pike, lake trout and stream trout which are not stocked in Mill Pond.

Mill Pond fishing info can be found at:

They shouldn't be out until tomorrow, the fishing opener. Don't forget to get a license!

I must've missed that photo op. Oops. But it was nice to get some pics of Jordan High School students helping the DNR stock the pond with fish from Pelican Lake, which is in Wright County. The DNR will be back next week to continue the process.

Any anglers out on the Mill Pond yet? I’m wondering who will be the first to catch one of these new fish?

I’ve never been in attendance for a perfect game. I think that would be really cool.

I found this powerpoint from MNDot. It is a very interesting read about roundabouts. I find the pages about Vail, Colorado very interesting, plus the different crash statistics.
